The moral of this story is don't use IE, have a decent firewall, and pay attention to what is going on with your PC and network. MSFT can give first dibs to the king of the moon for all I care, they can slam into my firewall and join all the Chinese and Eastern EU hackers that slam against it every day, good luck.
